My Brilliant Friend season 2 episodes 1 & 2 review, Culture Whisper
The dusty, sunny streets of Elena Ferrante’s 50s Neapolitan community have been sorely missed. Often you don’t miss a place until going back there; when returning to the visually breathtaking, compulsively characterful world of My Brilliant Friend, you realise how long it's been. Considering that the US received the second season months before the UK, this critic can’t help but feel a bit cheated…
But it’s here now (two episodes every Friday), resuming the familiar and frank and brilliant friendship between the introverted Elena (Margherita Mazzucco), who narrates the series, and the impulsively intelligent Lila (Gaia Girace), now married to Stefano (Giovanni Amura).
